Magic Kitten Classroom Chaos

This is a magical book. It is about a kitten called Flame and his Uncle Ebony wants to kill him. He goes to a school where a girl is in her first year. Her name is Abi.

Flame helps Abi build her confidence in lots of things and helps her when an older girl called Keera is mean to her. One example of this is when Keera steals a packet of sweets from a sweet shop. The owner of the shop does a roomsearch (it is a boarding school.) to find out who stole the sweets and because Keera hid the sweets under Abi's bed, everyone thinks that she stole them. Abi gets told off, but then Keera gets found out and is grounded.

This book is good because it is funny.

This book made me feel angry and I wanted to get into the story and help Abi change the way that Keera acts.

I recommend this book for 5-8 year olds. I think people that love and believe in magic will love this book.

Harry and Daphne and the amazing reversing powder

This book is really good,
It is about a crocodile called Daphne and her friend Harry.
They live in the jungle with lots of other animals.
There is a family of people living in that jungle and they hunt animals.
One day Harry gets shot and turned into a handbag but someone gives Daphne some magic reversing powder and she uses it to make Harry become alive again.
This story made me cry and it also made me smile.
There are lots of characters in this story - good and bad.
I really recommend this book to 5-7 year olds, mostly people that love animals.
I have read this book 6 times and I find it hard to put down.

Nag Club



This book is fabulous!
It is about a girl called Lola and she is an expert parent nagger.
Lots of Lola's friends want a boggle hat (which are hats that come in all shapes and sizes.)
The problems with those boggle hats is that they cost LOADS of money.
Lola makes a club to show her friend how to nag for a boggle hat.
Everything goes well untill Lola's friends discover a better way to get what they want...
Anne Fine was very clever to think of writing a book like this, and she is also really good at writing funny stories. I also really like the fact that the chapters are named after different kinds of nags.
I really recommend this book for 5-9 year olds.

Eventually Allie starts getting interested and wants to move but meanwhile she tries to follow the special rules which she has made up to try and make her behave. They are her “rules for girls.”

The Beano Annual 2009


Today I read a book (or rather an annual!) called The Beano Annual 2009.

This annual is great.

It is packed with comic strips and a game.

Not only are the comic strips funny, but they also have wonderful and bright illustrations that make me feel that I am really there (wherever they are!) waching the whole thing happen.

One of the comic strips is called "Ivy the Terrible" and it is about a girl called Ivy who makes up a plan to get a yummy sweet to eat instead of a boring old apple.
